CU*Answers Web Services has a planned maintenance window on Tuesday morning (12/20/2011) from 5:00 am – 8:00 am ET. Client websites and email services may experience intermittent downtime (10-15 minute intervals) during this window. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
.xxx domains became available for general availability registration yesterday morning. The .xxx extension is designed for use in the Adult Entertainment Industry, however some institutions are choosing to also register their current web domains in the .xxx extension to mitigate reputation risk. This is similar to registering your domain in .com, .net, .org and others to protect your online identity from being impugned. This is generally called defensive domain name registration.
If you are choosing to register your domains with the .xxx extensions, CU*Answers Web Services can do that for you. Registering these domains does not point them to your website, but rather makes them non-resolvable, so they basically become dead ends on the Internet. .xxx domains are $125 per year per domain ($100 is a straight cost pass through from the domain registrar.)
If this is something you would like to pursue, please let us know which domains you would like to register through our normal web update process. We are only planning on registering for 1 year so we can re-evaluate the domain name landscape next year.
The link to the Harland Clarke Consumer Education website is changing. If we manage your site we have already updated to the latest link for you. The old link “http://www.cuestnet.com/cuanswers/ced_portal.htm” should be changed to “http://harlandclarkeced.com/cuanswers”. The updated snippet can be found here.
